sky's a-falling." "Oh! but this is not the way to the king, Henny-
penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey and Turkey-lurkey,"
says Foxy-woxy; "I know the proper way; shall I show it you?" "Why
certainly, Foxy-woxy," said Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles,
Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey. So Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-
daddles, Goosey-poosey, Turkey-lurkey, and Foxy-woxy all went to tell
the king the sky was a-falling. So they went along, and they went
along, and they went along, till they came to a narrow and dark hole.
Now this was the door of Foxy-woxy's cave. But Foxy-woxy said to
Henny-penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-
lurkey: "This is the short way to the king's palace you'll soon get
there if you follow me. I will go first and you come after, Henny-
penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey."
"Why of course, certainly, without doubt, why not?" said Henny-Penny,
Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, and Turkey-lurkey.

So Foxy-woxy went into his cave, and he didn't go very far but turned
round to wait for Henny-Penny, Cocky-locky, Ducky-daddles, Goosey-
poosey and Turkey-lurkey. So at last at first Turkey-lurkey went
through the dark hole into the cave. He hadn't got far when "Hrumph,"
Foxy-woxy snapped off Turkey-lurkey's head and threw his body over his
left shoulder. Then Goosey-poosey went in, and "Hrumph," off went her
head and Goosey-poosey was thrown beside Turkey-lurkey. Then Ducky-
daddles waddled down, and "Hrumph," snapped Foxy-woxy, and Ducky-
daddles' head was off and Ducky-daddles was thrown alongside Turkey-
lurkey and Goosey-poosey. Then Cocky-locky strutted down into the cave
and he hadn't gone far when "Snap, Hrumph!" went Foxy-woxy and Cocky-
locky was thrown alongside of Turkey-lurkey, Goosey-poosey and Ducky-
daddles.
